#### Share files between Windows, Mac, and Linux devices on the network

FileFly is a fast, private, peer-to-peer file sharing app for your local
network. Send photos, documents, videos, and entire folders directly between
your Windows, macOS, and Linux devices over the same WiFi or LAN — with no
cloud, no accounts, and no internet connection required.

Files travel straight from one device to another. Nothing is uploaded to a
third-party server, so your data never leaves your network.

**Why FileFly**

* No internet needed — works entirely on your local WiFi or wired LAN
* No cloud, no accounts, no sign-up, no file size caps from a server
* Send whole folders — nested subfolders arrive with their structure intact
* Truly cross-platform — Windows ⇄ macOS ⇄ Linux, in any combination
* Automatic device discovery — nearby devices appear on their own
* Drag-and-drop simplicity — drop files or folders, pick a device, send
* Private by design — files go device-to-device, never through a server

**How it works**

1. Open FileFly on two or more devices connected to the same network.
2. Devices discover each other automatically.
3. Drag your files or folders onto FileFly — or use Browse files and
   Choose folder — then pick where to send them.
4. The receiving device approves the transfer — then everything arrives
   directly in the chosen download folder.

Every transfer is consent-based: the person receiving always approves before
anything is sent, so you're never surprised by an incoming file.

**Folder transfers**

Drop a folder — or a mix of files and folders — and FileFly walks it for you,
sending every file inside while keeping the layout exactly as it was. On the
receiving end the folder is rebuilt as it arrived, in its own place in your
downloads folder. Nothing is merged into an existing folder and nothing is
overwritten: a second copy simply lands alongside the first. Both devices
need FileFly 3.3 or later to preserve folder structure.

**Great for**

* Moving whole project folders and photo libraries between your own machines
* Sharing with people sitting next to you, without messaging apps or USB
* Offices, classrooms, and home networks where the cloud is overkill
* Anywhere privacy matters and files should stay on the local network

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install FileFly

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install FileFly

To install FileFly, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install filefly
```
